Case studies
Mission
Who they Are?
1,000 employees, 25 offices, 16 marketing and communication agencies, 2 divisions and 1 mission: to deliver hugely successful campaigns across every platform.
MISSION is a group of integrated and sector-specific agencies across the UK, Europe, the US and Asia. Its selection of highly talented and hugely skilled marketing and communication agencies spans sectors from property and retail to tech and bioscience.
With a desire to be different and a thirst to thrive, themission recruits only the best talent for the exceptionally specialised and technically demanding roles across its agencies.
The challenge
Henry Nicholas has worked with themission on many recruitment campaigns over the years. But this time themission wanted something different. Expanding into the technical sphere, themission needed help recruiting two roles for one of the largest PR and comms agencies in the Southwest. These roles required significant B2B and corporate PR experience, alongside technical writing skills and a personality that fitted.
A unified approach
Henry Nicholas worked with themission to fully understand their brand, vision and core requirements for these roles. Once our knowledge was in shape, we ensured their knowledge was in shape by sharing crucial information on the salaries, benefits and duties that would attract the right candidates.
How did Henry Nicholas add value?
Henry Nicholas’ knowledge of the market and connection with local job seekers meant that they could immediately start approaching candidates who were perfect for the roles. In addition, Henry Nicholas’ national network meant that they could speak with perfect-fit candidates who were willing to relocate for the right position.
Henry Nicholas didn’t simply ping over hundreds of potential candidates for themission to sift through. No, they narrowed down a long list of active and passive candidates to present two ideal applicants – two ideal applicants, who were then invited to an interview immediately. Mission accomplished.
What did themission like about working with Henry Nicholas?
We asked them just that:
“They have a great knowledge of the PR and comms market, and their outstanding reputation and highly-honed skills has even the most passive of candidates excited about a new position.”
“Working with Henry Nicholas isn’t like working with a traditional recruitment agency. It’s like working with a member of your own team. They know the market; they know the brand and they sell us just as well as we sell ourselves”.
“Ultimately, they’re efficient, hassle-free, reliable and consistent. What more could we want.”
